Speech, Language, and Auditory Assessment and Habilitation of Hearing Loss in Children

I. Course Objectives:

Students will achieve growth toward becoming informed, dynamic professionals, as evidenced by demonstration of proficiencies in knowledge comprehension, disposition development and skill application. Students will:

A. Compare and contrast degrees of hearing loss and its commensurate effects on the development of auditory, language, and speech skills of deaf/hard of hearing students. (K)

B. Examine issues related to cochlear implant technology; critique its impact on the expected outcomes for students with profound deafness. (K, D)

C. Administer assessment tools that evaluate the auditory skills of students with hearing loss. (S)

D. Identify appropriate habilitative goals for systematic auditory skill development (K, S)

E. Analyze the relationship between segmental and suprasegmental aspects of speech production and their role in assessing speech intelligibility of students with hearing loss. (K,S)

F. Perform speech assessments using tools developed specifically for use with the deaf/hard of hearing population. (K,S)

G. Develop speech goals that reflect the highest priority needs of a child with hearing loss; incorporate speech software programs as appropriate for intervention (K,D, S)

H. Outline the language/communication continuum that exists for deaf/hard of hearing students. (K, D)

I. Select appropriate language assessment protocols to evaluate the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of the language of a child with hearing loss. (K,S)

J. Plan language intervention programs that address form, content, and use issues. (K,S)

K. Design habilitation activities that integrate auditory, language, and speech objectives and that are content-based. (K,S,D)
